Thanks for this excellent reminder  Other persons who should seek advice from their dr or pharmacist before using supplemental potassium are those taking certain diuretics for fluid retention/ high BP ... triamteriene, spironolactone, amiloride. These cause the kidneys to retain potassium.
Check out this article from HealthandAge.com for more information about Potassium and Drug Interactions
